Homan, Markets React to Trump Border and Tariff Moves

Tom Homan, former border enforcement chief under President Trump, claimed at a White House briefing that President Biden intentionally left the border unsecured, contrasting this with the Trump administration's success in reducing illegal crossings and restoring border law. Homan and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt credited Trump's recent actions, including a national emergency declaration and anti-gang policies, for a 96% drop in illegal immigration during the first 100 days of Trump's second term. Homan further accused the Biden administration of deliberately releasing millions of migrants to delay deportations and potentially gain political advantage through future amnesty. Meanwhile, U.S. financial markets are reacting cautiously to new Trump tariff measures and are monitoring broader international economic developments. Trump is scheduled to meet with major business leaders and hold a rally to mark his first 100 days back in office. These actions reflect ongoing shifts in both border enforcement and economic strategies under the Trump administration.
